You have to call and order them over the phone then tell them you want to do a pick up in Shreveport and they will forward the order over to the warehouse. You pay when you pick them up.

Looks like I wont be off. I was thinking about going to run...

I have a few things I am undecided about... what you guys think?

1. My TF drag setup will be here this week. Just waiting on front wheels. My 295/45/17 mickey thompsons hook on an 8.5 wheel. I am considering running them on my 11" TF rears instead of the 325 M/H. They should hook better on the 11" wheel than the 8.5. I dont want to go to the 325 and lose a little time from the gearing loss and the extra rotating weight of the 325 over the 295. Hmmm...

2. Exhaust... I am running a factory catback with a magnaflow muffler in place of the stock muffler. There is a pretty good pinch point that goes from the muffler to the resonator (over the axle). I was planning(after I get back from dallas) on cutting everything off and running a turndown about a foot off the Y pipe. It will save me ~50lb and pick up a few ponies if I can get a retune before next wednesday before I head out to dallas. I dont want to make any changes that could possibly slow me down before the meet without being able to test it. Dump it or dont dump it??? A retune should net me around 10whp and will save me ~50lb... sounds like .1+/- if all goes well.... what to do...

Todd... can you come to me this weekend to tune the G8? Also... thoughts on the above. Lol. My brain is fried over this crap. Aluminum seat should be done this weekend though. Should save ~30lb with that and the air pump and bracket is another 20lb. If my wifes car isnt done by friday I am going to explode, and NOT because I am fat. ******** haha

All that weight reduction = RACECAR !!!! LOL

Have you thought about a good 3" cutout? I'm running (2) 3" cutouts on mine and its the best of both worlds. Mine isn't a track car though.

I've got two sorta dented up 3 inch bullets. Insides look fine just took a couple licks from a spinning DS. Summit brand, about 20 inches long. Free and delivered to the track friday if anyone wants them. Better speak up if you want me to bring them.....

Wade,

I can come to you this weekend, no problem. Just give me yell or text to schedule it. I would put the 295 on the 11" rim no problem As you said, if 295 hooks why go to 325 (other than appearance).
I would put a cutout on the exhaust like Chris said. You will be unhappy with the exhaust if you run dumps (all the time), and it's not worth getting under the tbss to remove exhaust when only at the track either. Put on a cutout and call it good.
Just my .02

If you don't wanna go, I can meet you with a jack and you can roll on torque thrusts for a day. If you're going, we can swap the rears for a pass. I don't mind running on my streets if its a PITA though.
